CHICKEN ATONEMENT

This posting is more or less about shlugn kapores.


One of the things which many shtrenge yidden will be doing at this time of year is using a live chicken for scapegoating purposes (which involves twirling it over one's head while reciting a formula). In recent years there have been accusations of animal cruelty, and disturbing reports of abused chickens kept in deplorable conditions.

The management of this blog has found a video which is quite incriminating.

[Note especially the strong Litvish accent of the gentleman distressing the chicken.]

Surely the scenes you have just witnessed must be quite shocking to the unititiated. What is surprising is that even in this modern day and age such voodooistic rituals are performed, by people of whom one expects a greater level of awareness and intelligence.


OUTRAGEOUS!


What can you do?

Now, write to your local SPCA chapter, and tell them ......

Oh heck, I can't keep up the pretense - you've already realized that the idea of shlugn kapores has formed a solid link in my mind with the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show. So, without further nonsense, here are some other great scenes.

I'm sure you'll agree that last one was very touching. Or something. I couldn't wait for a more appropriate time.
